I finally logged into #Overwatch2 only to find out I can't play most heroes because they're locked? That's kinda weird since I had Overwatch. Weirdest thing is that I can see all the cosmetics I had, but can't play the hero. Anyone else has this issue? @PlayOverwatch

I didn't attempt to get into Overwatch 2 even once last night. Do I dare try this morning considering the DDOS attacks and the issues people are having with their progression not carrying over?

@PlayOverwatch I know this is a known issue but I haven’t received any of my cosmetics or level or anything from overwatch 1, just tweeting this so I can be assured I will get my stuff eventually and not be shafted.

Other launch problems include missing cosmetics, lost match records, and problematic cameras. For a large-scale live service game launch, strange failures are typical. However, Overwatch 2 being the target of a cyberattack is not as frequent.

I figured servers would fix themselves at 3AM and was correct. I'm a couple matches deep into Overwatch 2 and this feels pretty nice. At the very least Roadhog feels infinitely better in 2.

Unfortunately, you can't just launch Overwatch while you wait for the DDoS onslaught to end. Overwatch 2's limited live service progression for character unlocks left several critics cold, albeit they seemed to enjoy the game's actual gameplay.

I have lots of vision problems but I thought atleast I wasn't colorblind - until I played overwatch 2 Some of the sounds are absolutely disgusting too - did they have no testers with visual impairments or misofonia in the team???

Learn more about how DDoS attacks operate and why it's so difficult to stop them.The original Overwatch, which just saw its servers go offline after six years, is completely being replaced by Blizzard's new free-to-play shooter.

@PlayOverwatch Nevermind the server issues and the old skins for Overwatch 1 being glitches. Why is my Watchpoint Pack and my Starter Pack: Season 1 not working?! I didn't pay $45 to not be able to get my content.

@krizko5 @Qwik Also important to note is that overwatch later start from its official account, that the problems are mostly on users who merged their accounts. Why would a DDoS attack only involve those accounts and not all?

@StarPow4 @NikoVixoLIVE ...This isn't something to be proud of. I'd say Splatoon is even worse than Overwatch. While this is one instance of communication errors,Nintendo, and Splatoon especially, they're constant and interrupt the experience of that game. I have played Splatoon 1,2,and now 3. It's bad.

oh damn, you can get in into overwatch 2 with no issues. Almost feels like it's not the actual game... Being actually able to play it

@shubshub11 @Qwik There was also a significant lack of mentions of this DDOS attack on the Overwatch AND on the Blizzard support twitters. Real DDOS or not, the least they could do is communicate on channels people expect info to be at >.>
